Azimuth/Elevation (C) Scopes

The C-scope gives the target azimuth angle against the target elevation (vertical) angle,
essentially giving the direction to the target but not its actual range.
The vertical dimension on a C-scope presents the targets relative elevation and
the horizontal dimension presents the targets relative azimuth.
This is basically a “gun sight” configuration that might be used,
for example, in an early interceptor aircraft.
